Description

In 2014, the British Psychological Society published a groundbreaking report on psychosis and schizophrenia, describing important advances in our psychological understanding of these difficulties, and our approach to helping people who experience them. Around the same time, NHS England and the Department of Health published 'Achieving Better Access to Mental Health Services by 2020', which announced a £33m investment in early psychosis services in England, and made clear their intent to introduce 2-week waiting time standards for early psychosis treatment - essentially committing mental health services to provide the specialised 'Early Intervention in Psychosis' services recommended for years by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence.

The University of Edinburgh's Department of Clinical and Health Psychology and the Scottish Mental Health Research Network are hosting a one-day conference on the 26th February 2016, where a range of distinguished speakers - each of whom have been closely involved in shaping these important advances - will discuss their implications for mental healthcare in Scotland. All those affected by psychosis - service users, carers, clinicians, researchers and policy-makers - are warmly invited to attend this free event, which will take place in the historic setting of Edinburgh's Assembly Hall.

Professor Peter Kinderman, President-elect, British Psychological Society
